Description Ok. First of all, I want to apologize for not having uploaded anything in months, but lately I have had very little time for myself since I've started university. Thankfully, the winter break (I know I'm 2 days out but Merry Christmas anyway!) has given me enough of a breather to make this.
I've been wanting to do animation for a while now, and this little thing here has taught me how NOT to do it. This took me 4 whole days to make, and I'm pretty sure there are far quicker methods of doing this. (I used the art program I always use to make the frames, and put them all together on the piskel online app, which is VERY prone to crashing right in the middle of your work.)
But regardless, in the end I got a pretty good result, not perfect mind you, but good enough. This is basically my interpretation of what freedom planet's sprites would look like if it got an HD re-release. While it was certainly quite an experience making this, I certainly wouldn't do it that way again. If anyone knows about a more efficient way of animating things like this, please let me know.

The head movement is weird, and the mouth looks kind of funny upscaled. Otherwise, this a great and near 1:1 upscale!

Yeah, the head was kinda difficult, because I needed a part of her that didn't move to serve as a point where I could draw the rest of her around so that she won't fly all over the place. Unfortunately, I realised too late that her head bobs up and down in the actual sprites, and I didn't want to redo everything all over again. So that's why the head looks off, but thanks for telling me that it's good otherwise!

Thanks a lot! I shouldn't get all the credit though, 'cause all in all, this is just an upscaled version of Lilac's basic run cycle.

I used a sprite sheet of Lilac's running animation as reference, but I did re draw every frame and animated it myself. Sorry if I was a little unclear on that matter.
